This crunchy salad has been a staple in our house for a few years now and I’m honestly not sure how I’ve gone this long without blogging about it?! A big hit for a postpartum veggie-packed grab-and-go side or lunch option as it is easy to make a large batch (dressing prepared on the side to keep it from getting soggy!) to eat on for a few days. Also a great side for potlucks, family gatherings, parties and holidays!

Plus it’s gluten free, nut free, poultry free, legume free and while not categories I usually write about - it’s also egg and dairy free, in case that matters to you!!

I'm not sure why I had been so hesitant to try this meal when I've heard such great things from friends. But last week, Darrell and I decided to try three new recipes for our dinners over the three-day weekend.
Read MoreThere's something about a cozy weekend day spent at home with no real plans. Growing up, these were the kind of days when dad most often seemed to get a hankering to cook. This usually meant one of two things, a hodge podge dinner of foods dad liked (soup beans, hoecakes [fried cornbread] and macaroni salad [...? haha]), goulash (which I despised), meatloaf (revered as dad's specialty and a family favorite), or chili.
